Relevant Information:

The Dekeyseria genera possess
broad and flattened heads. Both sexes have odontodes to the pectoral
and caudal spines with the males being somewhat longer. Some authors
(Seidel 2008) place the Dekeyseria genus as Zonancistrus
and state these species as being in the Dekeyseria brachyura
group. Aquarium Care: Whatever their true
placing's they are relatively easy to keep in the aquarium. If
you keep them in soft acid water they will sport their natural
colours as seen in the supplied images. If the water is too hard
their colours will be somewhat muted and they will take on a fright
pattern. More brighly coloured than Dekeyseria
sp. (L052). Diet: Omnivorous, veg, tablet
and fine frozen foods.
